Speculations Bartholomew Kuma could be based on Bartholomew sharp. And his connection with maps

[AverageNamiEnjoyer]

Bartholomew Kuma could be based on Bartholomew Sharp
Bartholomew Sharp was pirate that was hired by English. Kuma was hired by World goverment.
Bartholomew sharp stole important sea charts.

Remember Kuma used to carry book called "Bible"and Imu using Maps to destroy Lusiana.
How was Kuma able to send strawhats to different locations?...

"During one of the raids Captain Sharp seized a Spanish book of charts from the ship El Santo Rosario. In 1682 William Hacke was secretly commissioned by British government officials to translate and reproduce the book of charts that was stolen by Bartholomew Sharp"

Maybe chapter 1075 going to be about Kuma past and his connection with sea charts...

You absolute genius, holy shit! This is an amazing find and explains a LOT!

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

Well done my friend!

 

[Gorosei Informer]

Stealing sea charts too and Imu using maps to aim their weapon potentially too, why do I feel this gonna be important for Nami too somehow? Someone who wants to map the whole world?

Oh lmao, fair enough! Savedby a cartographer too HMMMM! What if Nami and Nojiko were sent to Oykot kingdom by Kuma for some reason?
Unexpected Nami arc actually happening now then?!

 

[Lor D. Coast]

Nami wants a treasure, maybe she finds Kuma's bible and it has maps inside. :saden:

 

[terabyte]

Nami and Brook do look like they're going for some treasure-hunting, although it might be too soon for them to find something important? Cool idea though, that Kuma's maps could be discovered soon

This is nostalgic.
Idk if anyone remembers but this was actually first mentioned by a OP youtuber who used to make really good videos. He had his website too. This is very long back like 2013 maybe atleast that's when I saw his video. I forgot his one piece YouTube name, but he soon changed his channel as Prank reviewer and used to expose all big prank channels by his detective work.
Even that got sold or he left that channel Or something..
I got to find out now he runs this new channel. Where he talks to time travellers.. It's fun 😝

@OnePiss tag failed...
If this is the case.
Kuma could be trying to destroy maps that's why he activated after Lulusia got destroyed..

 

[CoC: Color of Clowns]

If this is the case, I'd imagine Kuma has some sea charts the Straw Hats will need to reach Laugh Tale, as well.

Great thread! I've long wondered what the hell is going on with Kuma.

Nah let's Nami do that...

 

[KonyaruIchi]

Now this is a theory I can get behind! Plus anything that would raise Nami stocks is an instant W for me

 

[Apollo]

Good theory, I was always interested in the bible held by Kuma.

It might also explain why the book is named after religious scripture- because its used by the "god" of the world Imu.

 

[Emmazrine]

omg this would be so cool

People still think Oda is a number maniac when he said he had nothing special for chapter 1000.

Huh? If I understand your post correctly, you are saying Kuma has maps? Is that right?

Yes or No. It depends on Oda..
